HAREOW ATTACHMENT FOR FLOWS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 3, 1911.

Application filed July 3, 1908. Serial No. 441,802.

To all whom *it may concern; Be it known that I, EMERSON BURDETT BARIR'OWS, a citizen of the United States, re-

siding at- Sa iidwich. in the county of Dein harrow'attachments for plows, and the' object is to provide means whereby the rake or harrow can be shifted to different positions causing the rake to be forced into the ground'for breaking up the earth and for raising the same.

The invention consists of certain novel features of construction and combinations of parts which will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims.

In the accompanying drawings: Figure 1 is a perspective from the rear; Fig. 2 is a View in side elevation of the attachment; and Fig. 3 is a detail.

A represents the frame of a. wheeled plow, and to one side of the frame a bracket 1 is secured and through the free ends of the bracket a bolt 2 extends. Pivotally connected to the bolt are arms 3, 3, which are angle.

' it to straddle the arms 3 and the rack-segment 10 in which it engages by a pawl 11, the segment being connected to the bolt 12. It will be seen'that when the pawl. 11 is raised the segment will drop, thus allowing when the pawl is'allowed to be dropped it will again force the segment up and lockthe lever in its adjusted position. lVhen the lever is drawn forward the rake will be ele; vated and when the lever is thrown rears il.

The eye-bolt 7 being adjustable th-rou h the slot between the arms 3, permits the ra e to be adjusted to most any angle, and as the arms are pivotally connected to the bolt 2 the rake can be shifted from one side of the plow to the other as desired by the operator. A draw-rod 13 is connected to one end of the rake and the frame of the plow for holding the rake in position. This rod is provided with a clamp 14, which permits of the lengthening and shortening of the and.

It is evident that slight changes might be made in the form and arrangement of the several parts described without departing From the spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to be limited to the exact construction herein set forth, but

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In an attachment for plows, the com bination with a plow, of arms pivotally connected to the plow, a rake having a swivel connection with the arms, braces connected to the plow, a lever supported in the braces bolt, a rake having a swivel connection with 'thearms, braces pivotally, connected to the bolt, a forked lever pivoted to the arms and.

supported in the braces, a rack segment pivoted to the arms and adapted to engage the lever, andapawl pivoted to the lever for forcing the racksegment into engagement with the lever whereby the lever 1s locked in its adjusted positions for raising and lowering the rake.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature, in the presence of twowitnesses.
